    Filtering is what helps us deal with the vast amount of information available to us. We try to Filter information so that we end up with something that is relevant to us - it helps us learn something, it helps us solve a problem, it helps us develop a new hypothesis about the world around us. These are all connections - and this is what really drives value creation. However, we can't connect without some Filtering going on.

  • “There’s this notion that technology is networked and social. It does alter the power relationship between the educator and the learner, a learner has more autonomy, they have more control. The expectation that you wait on the teacher to create everything for you and to tell you what to do is false.”

      This is perhaps the practical heart of Connectivism: that the world is networked and that the learner is at the center of their own personal learning network.

      PLNs must have filters and aggregators to help us manage the massive flow of information in MOOCs.
  • Even if students in massively open online courses master the technology and overcome their virtual stage fright, a third problem remains: how to recognize the value of a learning experience that isn’t for credit.

      Validation remains a very sticky issue for online learning and for PLNs. However, I'm not sure the resolution will be to find a method for online validation, redefinition of validation, or a mixture of both.

  • It’s a question that proponents of online education continue to grapple with. Even if a student in an open course gains from their experience, there is no guarantee that the boss, or a potential employer, will recognize their learning without a certificate or other official, institution-approved record to prove it.

    With advancing online tools innovative educators are examining new ways to break out of this one-to-many model of education, through a concept called massively open online courses. The idea is to use open-source learning tools to make courses transparent and open to all, harnessing the knowledge of anyone who is interested in a topic.
